I have to ask, I know you don't game Sam (sorry that this is a bit off topic) so why do you overclock? Besides for the sheer fun of it of course
Video encoding perhaps?

That's right. I don't game at all....and do quite a lot of transcoding. Why not beat the hell out of it when they are paid for. Beside, I've learn a lot about the OSes, hardwares while doing it. It's a great experience.

I wish I have those "super rams" to do at that CL and speed.
Mine refused to go even CL7. If tried 10yrs...still would not beat that screenshot with the rams that I got.
Those are great rams that you have there.

@ dejo, I see that you also have very nice score with that 920 on air as well.


EDIT: My final clock at @4200/timing for 24/7

I am still wiating on you adding the clocks and scores for that i5 650 chip, seems I seen a post that you had it at 5ghz's

2GHZ OC on air. DAMN, thats motivating.

@Ronbert: Get on the team! I'm starting with crap hardware in case it breaks I'm not out too much $$. Get the hard lessons outta the way.

And here i am afraid to cross 1.4 volts...

Just an update of my new and improved SuperPI and SuperPI 32M scores.
